ABSTRACT
Diagnostic radiology plays a crucial role in children. The pediatric population has been less studied than the adult population since the initial period of the COVID-19 pandemic to date. Realizing the potential utility of structured reporting, different guidelines and international consensus statements regarding COVID-19 in the pediatric population have been released in recent times. Different clinical and radiological manifestations in children have been evolving in this period of uncertainty and are different from the adult population in certain aspects. Apart from the involvement of lungs, a multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in children or pediatric multi systemic inflammatory syndrome is unique in children. Therefore, awareness of the recent consensus, structural uniform reporting and multi-organ involving patterns in COVID-19 can guide radiologists for a better understanding of this complex novel disease leading to early diagnosis and timely treatment of affected children.
